Source distribution
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- ``fricas-x.y.z-full.tar.bz2`` is a "full" source tarball.
  It is identical to the respective version in the |git repository|,
  but additionally contains pregenerated (machine independent) files,
  i.e., compilation from these tarballs takes less time than from the
  git sources.

- ``x.y.z.tar.gz`` and ``x.y.z.zip`` source as in git repository

FriCAS x.y.z should build on Linux and many Unix like systems (for
example Mac OSX and Cygwin).

Official |git repository| (read-only access). Fork it on github if
you like.

Nightly builds
--------------

https://github.com/fricas/fricas-nightly-builds/releases/tag/nightly

A few downsides:

#. It only exists for a short period. (90 days?)
#. The packaging is very crude for now, not out-of-box user experience.
   (You have to "cd" in the shell and set "FRICAS" env variable.)
